4 MISTAKEN IDEA.

ALL the branches of the so-called
labor parties are resolving that gov
ernment ought to take control of the
telegraph system. There might be
conditions and there may be time in
which government control of The tele-
graph system would be the lesser of
two evils; but under any circum-
stances IL would be an evil. aor i;
would be an erection OF a new and pow
erful monopoly. 1t is strange tha,
those who profess themselves most III
jured by and most resolved upon the
abolition of moncpoiies should be the
first to advocate the relegation of all
business to certainly the most abso-
Lutte and possibly the most corrupt of
all monopolies. 1t has always been a
matter Of doubt to the wisest business
men whether business of that kind can
be conducted by government as eco
nomically or as free from scandal as
by private persons. It is plain that If
government should take and run the
telegraphs of the country, it would
soon be asked to take railways un-
der its control, and, indeed, most
o. the advocates of d government
telegraph system are prepared to
advocate government rail-
way system. After this, govern
ment control of mines, factories, and
all other branches of industry would
come easily. The administration
would be the universal wage-payer
and the people its dependents. This
would be system of nominal social
ism and absolute despotism. No die
tator or band of oligarchs has ever
had so strong bit in the jaw OF the
people as the foolish ones who would
make government the national wage
payer would devise. Our telegraph
system is faulty enough, but its fault
is that Of monopoly tempered by
fear of competition. Charges of tele-

What Push Can Accomplish.

merchant of Philadelphia on his ar
rival in this country aptly illustrates
what push can do. When he stepped
ashore from the sailing vessel, he
said, Il was without money or friends
L spoke to a man on the wharf and
asked him what TO do. He replied
Work, young man. Have you any
motto?' No. L said; what do you
mean" He said: Every man must
have a motto. Now, think OF one.
Go out and hunt for work"
Il started, thinking of a motto. As
walked along the street | saw
painted on a door the word Push ]
said, that shall be my motto l did
push at that door and entered an of.
flee. l was asked what wanted.
said: Work; and the word on your
door gave me not only a motto, but
confidence
MY manner pleased the man. He
asked me many questions. all OF which
were answered promptly. He said
at last: L want boy OF push. and as
You have adopted that as your motto

He did. My success followed, and
The motto that made my fortune will

ASTORIA. OREGON:
CARRYING WHEAT TO SEA.

DURING a recent trip through Ore
goa and Washington, that which was
the most singular of all that was seen
by the writer, was the transfer of
wheat over the switchbGck TO Tacoma.
Nothing more artificial, nothing more
incongruous, can be imagined than TO
carry wheat up over those Cascade
mountains, zigzagging over a steep
grade, a few cars at a time, an enoT-
NOUS 10G-ton engine at each end, pull
ing and tugging, and boosting and
gripping on the sharply-inclined track,
at an enormous expense, carrying
grain to tide water, when the natural,
easy, marked-out way by nature and
the laws of commerce would be and Is
down the Columbia river to Astoria.
On seeing the grain thus lifted up,
up, up, among the eternal SHOWS, and
then lowered as abruptly to the other
side, and carried hundreds and hun
dreds OF miles from its source to its
destination, our first thought was one
of remembrance OF discussions with
Portland papers in bygone years when
the argument OF THE Historian was
that deep-sea going vessels, carrying
grain, could load at Astoria cheaper
than they could at Portland, and the
argument of the Portland papers was
that "the nearer you can bring an
ocean carrying vessel to the wheat
fields the cheaper you can load her"
The arguments OF the Portland papers
were then disproved by facts and fig
ures furnished by The ASToRIAN: these
same arguments are now being fur
ther disproved by the logic of events.
THE AsToRIAE's arguments were
then and are now irrefutable; they
were not then and are now not suscep-
tible OF successful contradiction.
As in 81 and 80, and every year
since, wheat could and can be loaded
cheaper at Astoria than at Portland.
Wheat should be worth as much
ahoat at Astoria as ahoat at San Fran
cisco.
Under proper conditions it can be.
From reasons that need here no
more than passing allusion, the wheat
loading is passing from Portland.
The inevitable has arrived 1t is for
Portland to choose; which shall it be,
Astoria or, the Sound? Al present
Portland's answer seems to be adverse
to her own interests. The interests
of Portland and Astoria are identical;
what affects the one affects the other;
i, as is plain, the wheat must be
loaded elsewhere than at Portland,
why not at Astoria?
This is the present status OF this
important question.
The matter is, of course, purely a
business one. When Portland ship
pers find, as they ultimately viii, that
the business IS transferring itself away
from ''the point nearest the place
where the crops are grown" they Will
load at that point where the grain can
be loaded the cheapest. That point
is not Portland, nor Tacoma; it is at
Astoria, and every dictate OF bu siness,
finance and community interest point
to Astoria as the loading place for
deep sea going vessels carrying for
eign the grain surplus OF the Colum-

manded, but governmental regulation
is one thing and governmental con
